Sanyo PLV-Z700 Projector: Cons

Lack of separate “gain” and “bias” controls make calibrating trickier than most

Many image enhancement features impact grayscale balance, thus, it’s best to find the best combination of these that you like, and then perform the grayscale calibration (color temp)

Not the most film-like picture quality, but good, nonetheless

Sanyo PLV-Z700 Projector: Typical Capabilities

Lamp Life (assumed – since Sanyo provides no lamp life rating)

Placement flexibility relative to most other 3LCD home projectors

Price performance when compared with other new entry level 1080p projectors that are shipping so far this fall

Manual – it provides some good descriptions of key and advanced features, but thin on other ones

You’ll want to use the user memory areas, instead of the preset modes, if you want to make any changes at all, since the Presets (Creative Cinema, etc.) reset brightness contrast, etc., everytime you enter them. Not a big deal, but important to know (there are 5 user memory slots – more than enough)
